Episode 6 - Fail Friday




Positive Parenting show

Summary: <p>Fail Friday ⚠️ </p><p>⠀⠀</p><p>This week, my parenting fails have been at a relative minimum, but I have totally failed at mornings.</p><p>⠀⠀</p><p>Okay, so maybe not TOTALLY... </p><p>⠀⠀</p><p>I’ve still managed to follow my own wellness Wednesday advice and get up before I absolutely needed to. I’ve gotten myself and the kids ready and out the door on time, with everything we need for the day.</p><p>⠀⠀</p><p>Yet I’m still starting my day kicking myself for not getting in my full morning workout (or any of it, some days!) and feeling rushed.</p><p>⠀⠀</p><p>I know to take care of my kids, I have to take care of myself first, but as a busy mom, it’s super tough to make self-care a priority!</p><p>⠀⠀</p><p>So what’s a mom to do? I could just say, “Hey I failed. I don’t have time for this. I’m not a morning person. Guess the gym life’s not for me.” </p><p>⠀⠀</p><p>But that wouldn’t do me or my kids any good. So now what? </p><p>⠀⠀</p><p>Be honest with myself and reprioritize. </p><p>⠀⠀</p><p>If I’m not taking care of myself first, I can’t be the best mom for my kiddos.</p><p>⠀⠀</p><p>And for me, taking care of myself means making sure I’m up early enough for my full morning workout (and maybe even a little reading time in the sauna!).</p><p>⠀⠀</p><p>What’s keeping me from getting up earlier? Well, the snooze button, for one thing... but also not getting to bed early enough.</p><p>⠀⠀</p><p>So, to be the best mom I can be for my kids, it’s time to recommit to an earlier bedtime. And not hitting snooze...</p><p>⠀⠀</p><p>Next week, it’s time to win my mornings, and crush the gym
